The EOS blockchain is designed as a public blockchain with transaction amounts and history available for public viewing.

DEVELOPMENT TEAM

Dan Larimer heads the development team and is a very well-known name in the blockchain industry. He is heralded for designing the delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and was a founder at the decentralized exchange Bitshares and cryptocurrency Steem before leaving both projects. Partner Ian Grigg is a financial cryptographer with 20 years experience in developing technology to link legal contracts and financial applications.

VALUE PROPOSITION

The decentralized operating system of EOS takes smart contract and dApp technology to another level, and provides a network that can handle almost anything imaginable. Acting as a decentralized operating system, EOS aims to be the foundation for the next generation of internet protocols.

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

EOS will act as a decentralized operating system, giving developers flexibility and security as well as the ability to scale without the worry of network congestion.

Unlike other proof-of-stake coins, the EOS coin will be used to claim a stake in using the blockchain, with the amount of bandwidth and storage usable directly correlated to the amount of EOS held, and by doing so, this process will eliminate fees for the end user.

Token holders will also be given an opportunity to vote for elected mining nodes to secure transactions on the blockchain. Servers that host data from the EOS blockchain are incentivized to do so via mining rewards.

Other coins can be built on top of the EOS blockchain, allowing for new ICOs and giving developers more flexibility. The project is being developed by the blockchain company Block.one, but is expected to be released as an open-sourced protocol. Block.one has also instituted a venture capital fund specifically aimed at developing projects to support the EOS platform.

HOW TO BUY EOS

EOS can be purchased via cryptocurrency trading exchanges. In most cases you will have to first buy a common crypto, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, and then trade the currency for EOS. Find the exchange that best suits your trading needs and follow the directions to purchase EOS.
